I'm getting some water into the crankcase and also noticing and oil leak into the bilge from the front of the engine. The amount of water in the oil is minimal. Motor runs strong. Compression is perfect.
I've heard it could be:
- risers
- head gasket
- cracked block - the boat is never in below freezing conditions and hasn't overheated
The Nautique dealer looked it over and couldn't find anything and concluded cracked block-not because they found anything, because they didn't find another reason for water in the oil They changed the oil and it didn't take on oil at their shop. Once on the lake the oil looks a little milky again. The Nautique dealer advised that with the small amount of water being injested I could very well run the boat for a long time. They advised to keep an eye on the oil for increased water content and watch my guages as well. They said a replacement longblock was another option.
I towed people around the lake putting 6 hours on the engine this weekend. The oil is a little milky but still transparent. Oil level didn't increase. The bilge had a couple of cups of oily water.
I'm uncomfortable with the answer that since they couldn't find anything the conclusion is the block. The service writer is a good guy, but the dealer did very poor work on my trailer brakes and bearings last year.
Ideas?
Who's the best PCM/Nautique mechanic is the SF Bay or Stockton area?
